“Because there’s an endless amount of data available to us and we have a limited bandwidth to conserve, we might consider carefully curating the quality of what we allow in.”
From The Creative Act by Rick Rubin
About so much more than Creativity; it is a Guide to Life, and Why We are Here
This book is excellent and not just for artists. It’s for anyone who wants to live a more fulfilling life, and it's a guide to living.
No matter what you do, you create something. It may be art, raising a child, forming a family, an investment portfolio, or building something. Whatever it is, it becomes your creation, and you will learn to be more effective through the wisdom shared in this book.
“I set out to write a book about what to do to make a great work of art. Instead, it revealed itself as a book on how to be.”
—Rick Rubin
The author, Rick Rubin, is an experienced and awarded creator. He provides this guide to creativity through short, enjoyable chapters, sharing his experience and perspective. Some ideas we may already know, but somehow lost or forgot. Each chapter is a profound lesson with practical ideas.
I am a scientist and investor who dabbles in blogging and believe we are here for a purpose. I never thought of myself as a creator but this book changed that.
I highly recommend this book to all, regardless of your walk in life. It offers new experiences, perspectives, and opportunities to help you grow and develop in your walk.
Rubin shows how to better express our purpose, fulfill an innate desire to make our mark on the world, and let others know we are here.
